We present an automated process for generating trajectories considering regulatory requirements and associated operational procedures while optimizing for energy efficiency. The corresponding optimal control problems are derived automatically from a flexible trajectory definition database expressing the constraints and operational requirements for vertical takeoff and landing trajectories.
